some starting resources would be

• GTK4 docs
• Inkscape’s UI theme docs
• Sass docs (a useful tool that helps with CSS creation, also used by Inkscape devs)

And a good way to just get to know Inkscape’s widgets structure would be to just open it with the GTK Inspector(which the official app already includes btw), and see how the structure looks like, and poke around with the CSS.

On linux(flatpak version) i can do this simply like so: flatpak run --env=GTK_DEBUG=interactive org.inkscape.Inkscape

this is a nice article about the topic https://tesk.page/2024/06/03/libadwaita-splitting-gtk-and-design-language/

my slop meter is beeping for that image too

I think Inkscape’s UI could def also gain some good improvements even just with little technical know-how! I’ve been trying to make a UI style for it from scratch purely through GTK’s CSS layer (no touching internal code or recompiling at all) and I’m pretty impressed of what’s possible. (see here)

If anyone is even just familiar with CSS, you could certainly make good contributions to the UI layer. Or help out in my repo i posted above, I need to port the style to Inkscape 1.5 / GTK4 (aswell as cover some missing stuff e.g. right-to-left) but I don’t find a lot of time to do it.

Nice, many people have a nvidia graphics pc. This seems very helpful for all non technical users.
